Attachment and greed do not bring us satisfaction or happiness. The more we harbour and nurture those emotions, the more they will disturb the stability of our mind. More seriously, we may also lose our hard-earned merit and be faced with adverse consequences. When we start to think deeply in our hearts, those poisons cannot really harm the one that we wish to hurt, but instead they will only throw us into darkness. Thus liberation will become farther away from us than we could have imagined.~ by Gharwang Rinpoche in Sikkim.11/5/13

Even though we may plan for our future, it is our destiny which shapes the outcome.

As ordinary human beings, we do make mistakes. But if we are careful enough, then we can still make our lives brighter and more meaningful in the near future by correcting what we have done wrong.

Loneliness gives us the opportunity to reflect on ourselves and our shortcomings.
